STILL COUNTING THEJOT CHART Interest in the Contest is Increasing Steadily Day by Day. To Arrange Rebates Between the Representatives of These Two Southern liducational Institutions Next Year. Arrangements are being made between the University of Georgia aud the Uni versity of North Carolina, looking to a series of debates betweon the two col leges, to begin next year. Several years ago an arrangement was made with North Carolina by which a series of six debates was arranged be tween the two colleges to take place alternately in this city and at Chapel Hill, where the University of North ! Carolina is located. The tirst deba'e, under that arrangement, which was held in this city, was won by the Uni versity of Georgia while the following three won by North Carolina The re maining two debates of that series were won by Georgia, one at Chapel Hill and one in this city, tieitig the number won by each college. To break the tie another debate was arranged between G,-orgia and North Carolina, but the rules to govern the contest could not be agreed upon and the proposed debate was called off. Now comes North Carolina presenting a set of rules to goveru the d-bates in the future, and it is probable that these will be agreed upon aud the debatet will begin next vear. THE BONDi™ DATE TO BE FIXED It Will Probably be During The Latter Part of July. There is some talk of holding the elec tion for county bonds th“ latter part of July or the first part of August. It was thought at tirst that July 6th would be about the right time for the election, bnt the attention of the com missioners has been called to the fact that the farmers will not have laid by their crops by that date and that it would probably be better to call the election at a little later date. The commissioners will take the mat ter under advisement aud will give it thorough consideration before setting the date for the election.

There are many people who make the humiliating acknowledgement that they are dependent upon coffee to "braoe them up” every little while. These hare never learned the truth about Postnm Cereal Coffee which makes leaving off coffee a simple matter and brings health and strength in place of coffee ills. A lady of Davenport, Iowa, who has used Postnm Food Coffee for five years is competent to talk opon the subjeot. She says: 'I am a school teacher and daring extra work when I thought I needed to be braced np I nsed to indulge in rich, strong coffee of which I was very fond and upon which 1 thought I was de pendent.
